Man of Many Faces by CLAMP (with Asher Sofman) [Shonen Exception #3]
Update: 2023-02-18
Description
A discussion about the two-volume series Man of Many Faces by CLAMP.
This is a two-volume gag manga about a gentleman thief who's in elementary school named Akira. He has two moms who look identical to each other. He's part of the Clamp School Detectives. He's in love with a kindergartener named Utako. It might be one of the best romantic relationships in any Clamp manga. Wait, what? Shojo and Tell host Ashley and her husband do their best to crack the case as to why this strange, should-be-problematic short series is actually endearing and wholesome.
